I wasn't following last time the Muck were powerhouses but I also don't think the transfer problem was as bad then as it has become now 
 
In terms of Madison the reason they dominate is because the 1a teams are mostly middle schools playing at the high school level, Madison doesn't get a lot of transfers but if you put them in a higher classification they would get exposed

As would I. I think this year’s Lakeland squad would compete with just about anyone in the country not named Mater Dei. Unbelievable what they have done with their program in the past few months. Could this be their best team ever? Maybe. All I know is one thing: i do not want to be a team that stands in their way. 

Yes and lost big 

Word is 5* rocket armed QB recruit Cam Winston Mahones (6'5", 230lbs, 4.35 forty) has an additional NIL with Mercedes-Benz of Germany, and a personal service contract with Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones. I hope that clears things up for you, thanks. 

If what retired college and NFL head coach Barry Switzer says is in the works at OU then everything is on the table going forward until the NCAA see's the flames and wakes up. As soon as this coming fall football season every Sooner player (85 ?) will receive between $ 40,000 and $ 50,000. That's right, EVERY SINGLE PLAYER. They call it 1Okalahoma. The following is " just" speculation : Lets round off 85 players to 100..., and lets pay them 50K, now multiply by 100 = $5,000,000 total. Head coaches today can make $10,000,000 in yearly compensation with outside contracts added. The deal doesn't appear so crazy when you realize 100 young men (18-22 'ish) risk life and limb and STILL only make 1/2 the salary of one football coach. Carrying on with the hypothetical.... a loaded up OU stomps poor OSU at home on Saturday afternoon. All team members get a pay envelope after they shower and dress. Let's say $2,500 each. Come Monday afternoon, how many all together are in jail, in the hospital, the morgue, or missing and unexcused from practice ? Like the rest of you old guys, I see trouble.... and fast. Until further notice kids, OU is the place to be.   

I guess OU is a big "EQUITY" believer as if they pay every player the same, how will the 4* and 5* feel when they could get $250,000 plus while some of their teammates are worth under $10K?  All sorts of dynamics that were not contemplated when they launched this disaster.  

Most of the NIL money is coming from groups of well healed boosters at the Power Five schools and not a local car dealer getting a local kid to promote their product for payment.  What you describe is clearly against the rules, but like in 2011 here in Florida when there is no enforcement/penalty the flood gates opened up.  With no enforcement at the college level, it will be the same with HS kids.  What good are rules without any enforcement?

I really think this will ruin HS football just as it has ruined the college game.  There will be a handful of teams with all the best players in the state and everyone else will not even bother fielding a team.  One thing not considered is the impact on the kids who just want to play HS ball and are not college football material (which is 99% of the players).  I am watching my son's team get poached of its best players and the kids left behind are devastated.  Our two returning team captains were cherry picked off the team that was already going to be young and rebuilding next year.  Now nobody feels like even bothering to show up.  I really want to tell the coach to go independent for a year while they rebuild but I'm sure he's aware of his options at this point.  My heart breaks for these kids that are putting in so much work just to see key pieces yanked from the team.

LETS GOOOOOO PANTHERS!!!

Awesome schedule for the Cowboys. @Jesse, what say you? 

I'm back 

They lost to Hawthorne and beat them this past year but Hawthorne had like 12 starters transfer in from Gainesville Schools so that is not your normal 1 A Rural school they would play every year in the playoffs.So my point is you will have to bring in transfers to stay on the field with MC and is that not what the whole Suburban/ Metro thing wanted to put a stop too

I like Lincoln by 21, state power? what the hell Lincoln smoking, it's just Dillard they located in the mall. 

Just goes to show that MC ain't all that.

As Tigerskin said in this thread, I don't know him either and will give him the benefit of doubt as opposed to calling him a "CLOWN" when you don't probably know him either.  He played his high school football at Madison and I understand his elderly parents still live there requiring more attention health wise.  Seems like laudable reasons to make the move and take that job.  Sad to see the hate some people have for those who have actually proven success; his record at Dunnellon was 70-24 with 7 straight years of qualifying for the playoffs. 

I dont't know him but will give him the benefit of doubt that he's a class act till proven otherwise , but if he pushed the suburban/metro split because he thinks schools in counties with more people have a advantage then he should feel the same way when Madison can split their school in half to get under the enrollment for Rural 1 A but offer no sports at the charter school but have them come back and play for Madison is the same thing as the people wanting to split from the bigger counties. 

Or at the very least, not let him act as their spokesperson/representative as it detracts from their record.

I'm back
